The attend'- j the balances of our calculation. To boa throughout the entire week, but the nn st interesting proceed ings of Wednesday drew together a large concourse to listen to the invited orators of tho dav. lion. II. 1*. Kimball 5 President of the Wiwnebago (III.) Ag ricultural Association, and Hon. Z. B. Vance, Governor of North Carolina, and most nobly were they entertained Col. Titos. Taylor, the cx-Prcsidcut in troduced Mr. Kimball, from whose elo quent and forcible address we extract the following : “When Gov. Hampton honored tho people of our State with bis visitation as their orator and guest, he brought his speech in his head. Compelled by the laws of necessity, l have brought mine in my pocket. As l came Southward in the cars, anticipating that your good people would invite me to say something I wrote down a few incoherent ideas and st itetnents. Fresh from my farm, with my hands calloused with recent toil, and coming as.iong a people with whom ora tory is a natural gift, you will eeitaiuiy have patience for a low minutes, if for no other reason than that I am the bold defender of your honor and the truest friend that South Carolina has in the North. ***** 'i he visitation of your Governor had a most salutary inflnence upon our com munity. When he appeared before that immense concourse of into ligeut citi z us, who had swarmed from the vast pianos and populous cities of our State, it oocuvcd to uie that tl.ore must have rushed into his mind a feeling of wonder and inspiration kindled with that of the gicat evangelist, who saw in his vision of the apocalypse “a great multitude which no man could number.” You are familiar with the legend of the stately ship that sailed along the >horcs of the majestic mountain. Suddenly its rivets ind rings, its bolts and bars were spirited away by an irresistibh and in visible power, and the huge vessel dis solved into fragments that drifted away on he tossing billows As the Govcrm r continued his address, 1 discovered in the faces of a few tho expression of prejudice brightening into welcome, and the irowu of antagonism soften into the smiles of approbation. Like the majes tic'mountain, the wisdom and nobility, the conservative and conciliatory spirit II his utterances irresistibly drew- out the bolts and bars of bigotry and preju dice, which had so long excluded the diviner qualities of the heart. Tho un wavering contidcuee of the American people in the heroic principle and integ rity of the Governor's character, their u tiled appreciation of the lofty patriot ism which inspires his public addresses, and their endorsement of the impartial justice of his administration, constitute the “gold ill stairw iy* of oportunity for the fut ure realization of his highest am bitiou. Already the Governor’s ad dress has been incorporated with the historical records ofTTui county, which arc upon the eve of publication, a copy ot which work will be transmitted to him, with the compliments of t ho pub lisher. Honorable members of the State Board ofSouth Corolina in behalf of the Northern lllanois industrial Asso ciation, I grasp your hands in token of of tiie siueercst and truest fellowship.— If there be one obligation which true members of otjr society esteem more sacred than another, it is that of pro no ting, by e-'ery just and hospitable meth od, a fooling of amity and confidence among aU the citizens of this great re public. The late civil dissension re sulted 1 rom the chafing antagonisms of our industrial and political interests sind the persistent encroachment cf tho usuiq ctiuns of one section upon the rights of another. The strategies of war resemble the marvellous combina tions of a chess-board. We cannot de termine what unseen powers, liotditi*' iheir trusts the destinies of nations unseen by the heroes of the eon- 'J lie Almighty has as much di— iguiey in tie establishment and Morse or Field, we must first tame the lightning, and then build a highway of thought under the sea. To be a Hamp ton, we must have the moral heroism to stand, in our right and majesty, before the highest powers of the nation and exclaim j “I have not o nne here for uny compromise. I have been elected Gov ernor of South Carolina by the express ed will of u majority and, by the Eter nal, I will be Governor or 50,000 v»li- untsousof South Carolina will unite to defend my claim.” 1 have yet to learn where a man has earned his immortality by tfic^'purreu* dor oi his convictions or the ootupro* mis. s of his honest principles. Before the Anglo Saxon race shall abdicate their position of white supremacy, the colored and mixed race* muct first eclipse them in their powers of inven tion and their achievement of engineer ing skill; they must construct navies, span tho rivers with magnificent bridges cover the continents with a network of railroads, and adorn a literature with poetry, s cienue and philosophy, they must organize polytechnic schools, en dow univprsiUos and eommcuiontte his. torical events in groups of sculpture and galerics of art. Outside the lim its of the ancient Egyptian civilization, no vesstages of acqutducts, no ivy-clad monuments, illustrative of a higher civ ilization, have icwatdcd the Industry of modern geographical research in Af rica' The Anglo Saxon race In the ver satility of their Capabilities and the plcn itudc of their | ower will hold the sceptre of supremacy till time be no lon ger. Citizens ofSouth Carolina, since the time wheu Sherman’s army left its au tograph of cannon shot upon the walls of your State House and outraged the principles of honor and humanity in the conflagration of your city, you have huen made the victims of the foulest in dignities and conspiracies; under the eyes of the na ion, you have manifested a heroic patience and endurance. A. noble and conservative spirit has pre served your honor unblemished and an ] rust rained all acts of insubordina lion. On Thursday tho competitive drill, which drew an immense throng from every pmt of the country was tho main attraction oi the d iy. At an curly hour the various companies formed on Main strict, under command of Brig. Gen. F. M. Bamberg, mid marched to ih e grounds where they were dismissed until 12 o’cl ck, when the contest for the military prizes wa* begun, The judges in the contest were Lieut, G. M: Bomford and O. H. Baldwin, of the Eighteenth Infantry U. S. A. and Lieut Granger Adams of the Fifth Artilery. U. S. A. A special programme was ar ranged by these gentlemen, which each company was required to adopt and which included the manual of arms and company drill in single rank. Each of thejudges kept a soperate record, and at the close of the contest made up his average from his private notes. The averages of all the judges wore then ta ken tognthcr and again averaged with the following result—three hundred being tho maximum’ Uiohland Volunteers, Columbia, man ual of arum, score 242, on the drill, 142.
